Lord Moynihan

asked Her Majesty's Government:

On which dates meetings have taken place since 2000 between the Athletics Commission and the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. [HL3860]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

There have been no meetings between the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport and the Athletics Commission since 2000. The Secretary of State has, however, met athletes on an informal basis on three occasions to discuss their thoughts on the support and level of service being provided to them. In addition the Secretary of State has agreed to meet the British Athletes Commission on a biannual basis with the first meeting planned for 20 October.
